Company details

  1. Garden Center

Written by the company

Over the years, Boma has evolved into one of London's most enjoyable and attractive independent garden centres. The place is like a paradisal oasis in the heart of its Kentish Town urban locale. Boma specialises in a massive and diverse range of houseplants and outdoor plants. It is also renowned for its fabulous range of handmade plant pots, planters, plant care products and gardening essentials. What sets Boma apart is the team of obsessive horticulturists running the place. But it's much more than the team and products. It's also about the community, which plays an integral part in the Boma's daily life. Since the launch of Boma's new webshop in 2021, demand for plants has taken off nationwide throughout the UK. Even more so since orders over £50 are shipping free of charge. Customers most enjoy the warm reception from the team and practical advice and tips that make gardening and plant care much more fun.

Friendly, great, communication, and great that you deliver with care and a smile as I am mostly housebound so it’s hard to get out.

Absolutely terrific

Absolutely terrific. I had a huge soil order that needed delivery to co-incide with some help to shift it. Not only was Kim in the office willing and able to help co-ordinate it but the guys arrived on time and we were able to shift it all in good time. Couldn't be happier. Many thanks.

Thank you Alaric for your wonderful review — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We’re delighted to hear that everything worked smoothly with your soil delivery. Coordinating timing for larger deliveries can sometimes be tricky, so it’s great to know Kim was able to help organise everything and that the team arrived right on schedule.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to Kim and the delivery team — they’ll be very pleased to hear it.

Thank you again for choosing Boma, and we hope to see you again soon.
